Ninja vs Penguin

Ninja October 30th, 2007

Q: Could you recommend an alternative for a groomsman shoe?

A: Sure! I’ve never been a fan of the shiny, patent leather look with a tux. I’m no fashionista, but I’ll give it a stab. Here are some shoes that I think offer style, comfort, & best of all, you wouldn’t feel embarrassed about wearing them out again. (purchasing links after photos)

Slick silhouette with a pointy toe. The comfort of a sneaker with the sleek styling of a designer boot.

A sneaky zip in the back for easy put-on and removal.
+ A lil’ Rock n’ Roll

Brand: Ash
Style#: 40455
Style Name: Seven
Material: Nappa Vintage upper, rubber sole
Color: Black

Love that wood-grain pattern on the top & bottom on the shoes!

+ Tree-lover’s Shoe
Brand: House Industries (yes, the type foundry)
Style Name: The Arborist
Material: Suede upper (laser-etched with subtle wood-grain pattern), cork midsole, rubber sole with wood-grain pattern (leave your mark where ever you walk)
Colors: Black, Tan, Brown

No laces!

+ Classic & Casual

Brand: John Varvatos for Converse
Style Name: Chuck Taylor All Star
Material: Suede upper, rubber sole
Colors: Black

I hope that helps & congrats on your wedding!

Cheers,
Ninja
